A new year my fellow bookworms and new review requests have been flying in. This book pretty much had an acceptance straight away as I recognised the author Cheryl Landmark from a previous book I reviewed for her, Wind and Fire. If I remember correctly I thought Cheryl had a great imagination and potential, so I am very interested to see how her work has progressed. Her new novel is Pool of Souls, and here is what it is all about:
‘On the world called Regalis, the domains are ruled by kings and queens and mages wield great power. Queen Saranor, ruler of the Janix
domain, is no longer content with reigning solely over her own queendom. She has become insanely greedy and ambitious and, with the help of the powerful mage, Nostrimus, and a soul-killing talisman called the Pool of Souls, she sets out on a brutal, bloody campaign to rule all of Regalis. Her bid for world dominance, however, is challenged by a rebellion led by General Darnellis Viadon, the former commander of her troops.
After her brother leaves their small hometown to join the general’s rebellion, twenty-two year old Cazlina Narzin decides to follow in his footsteps and enlist in the army as well. But, once away from the safety and isolation of Rothtown in the company of her loyal companion, Miris, Cazlina soon discovers that the battle zeal and passion she harbors to help rid the world of the renegade queen may not be enough to protect her from the danger and evil threatening her world.’
I accepted a pdf copy of this book but you can get a kindle copy on Amazon. For once I was glad not to have to tell poor Cheryl that it may take me a long time to read this on my laptop, because of course now I have my kindle to read this on!
